John Sergeant is a broadcasting legend. The man who graced our screens almost nightly, firstly with the BBC as Chief Political Correspondent from 1992 - 2000 and then as ITN’s Political Editor from 2000 - 2002 memorably covering ‘the Thatcher years’ and much else over those turbulent years.
Known for his gruff good humour and his unforgettable ‘lived in’ speaking voice, John’s career since ‘retirement’ has hardly been less eventful having been the nation's darling in the 2008 edition of Strictly Come Dancing where the public consistently failed to vote him off the programme despite his self-proclaimed ‘two left feet’.
More recently John has featured in a wide range of programmes where politics have been anything but centre-stage - Argumental on Dave; Grimefighters, Barging Around Britain on ITV; and The Big Steam Adventure for Channel 5. A national treasure? Quite probably….
John is joined by Matt Stadlen to talk about his wide ranging career - and his view on today’s body politic.
